Alvin Jones (born 9 July 1994) is a Trinidadian footballer who plays as a right-back who currently plays for Honduran Liga Nacional club Real Sociedad and the Trinidad and Tobago national team.[1][2] He is the son of former footballer Kelvin Jones and the younger brother of fellow T&T international Joevin.[3]
International goals
Jones played for the Trinidad and Tobago U23 team at the 2015 Pan American Games – Men's tournament. On October 10, 2017, he received international fame after his performance against the United States in a World Cup qualifying match, in which he scored from long distance for his first international goal. During the match, he also attempted a cross which resulted in an own goal and another long shot that he nearly scored.[4][5] The match ended in a 2-1 victory for T&T, preventing the United States from qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.[5][6][7] Six years later, he scored a long free kick in a 2-1 victory for T&T against the US, but it was not enough since they lost the first leg 3-0, losing 4-2 on aggregate.[8][9][10][11]
